Street cleaning IN soutr, America.

5tTccG dreaming ~ SOuCH AmerIcas
A South America diplomatist said the
other day: 1T may be interesting to
those who are discussing the subject Of
street cleaning in New York to know that
in several of the South American coun-
tries, notably Chilli and the Argentine
republic, women are employed to sweep
the streets. This plan was first adopted
BY the government of Chill when most all
the men In the republic were engaged
in the subjugation Of Peru, but it proved
SO successful that it was not only con-
tinuGd, but was adopted lin the adjoining
republic Contracts are let to women
Or to men, dis the case may be, for keeping
a portion of the city clean, and every
morning, at about 3 O'Clock, gangs of
women go out with their brooms and
sweep the dirt into little piles, when it
is gathered up by men with carts, who
follow them. The contracts are small,
and the territory to- be swept by each
contractor does not amount to more than
q mile of olr pavement The streets are
paved with Belgian block like Fifth
avenue, and are always us clean In the
morning as q dniry door. Washington

He is one OF the People to whom belongs
the honor due that Office, and any act that
trails bis name and Office in the dust, il
treason, and if such actions are approved
and tolerated the foundation of the Re-
public will totter. The assassination
of q President may be the work of one ir-
responsible citizen, and the act does not
represent the sentiment Of another man,

DIR. Joseph Parker Discusses Beecher's
Character-An Enthusiastic Admfrer.
New YORK, August > -Rev. DR..
Joseph Parker, of the City Temple, Lon
don, who for years was 4 bosom friend OF
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and entertained
that gentleman and his wife when they
visited Europe last summer, arrived here
this morning ON the steamer Umbria. He
was driven from the dock TO the Everett
house, where he was met by Mrs. Baecher.
They breaktasted tagether.
DR.. Parker comes here TO deliver a
course uf lectures. Referring to the trip
over, DR.. Parker said it wa anything
but pleasant. "On Tuesday last" he
said, I'VE ran into a cyclone which
took us two and a half hours to
psSs through. On Friday We passed
through another which must have lasted
four hours. 1t was a terrible storm, aud
for a time l thought the ship was gone.
The captain OF the Umbria says it was the
worst trip he has had in years during the
summer months"
DIR. Parker denied that he had come
over here in response to a call to I'LL the
pulpit of Plymouth church, rendered va
can't by Mr.. Beecher's death. He said;
Il was under contract before Mr.. Beech
er's death to come over this fall on a lee
ture tour. Primarily my trip is for the pur-
pose of delivering a eulogy on MIR. Beecher,
at the Academy Of Music, Brooklyn, on
October 4, next, under the auspices of the
Beecher statue fund. l left England
amidst a chorus of approval of my mission.
Our people all feel that Mr.. Beeeher's
memory should be fttingly c~ommemorated.
The day / left l received a letter from Mr..
Gladstone, which he closed with the fol.
lowing words: Il sincerely wish you a
SAFE AND HAPPY EXPEDITION
This letter was In reply to a request
from me that he would mite with the
President OF the United States in accepting
the dedication of the eulog."
DIR. Parker further said: During the
past few months my church has become
thoroughly Americanized by the invasion
of visitors from this country. The ques'
ton has been asked whether any were left
in America who belonged to the clerical
order. All who have called on me have
been enthusiastic in their admiration o.
Mr.. Beecher's memoriam. The Duke Of
Marlborough was also o passenger on the
Umbria. He is IN tour Of pleasure only

MALICIOUS INSULT.
An Unpatriotic Spirit Shown-Ths Banner
Proper Thing.

IL ~grieves us to know that the G. A. h
in its malicious insult to the President of
the Republic at Wheeling showed a spirit
the reverse OF patriotic and in direct Oppo-
ton to the cause of the Union to which it
pretends peculiar devotion.
The erection of the banner across the
street having on it the words: God Bless
the President of the United States, the
Commander of the Army and Navy" was
the proper thing to do at a meeting OF the
old snldiers who preserved the Union and
the Republic. 1t was natural TO think
that the defenders of the Union would also
be the friends of the Republic and being
such would show proper respect for the
President, the representative OF our IN
situations. Bnt this was a mistake. In
stead the President was insulted and The
star spangled hammer was trailed while
these men marched to one side, refusing to
90 under the emblem of respect to the
President Of the United States.
This action was treason. 1t does not
belong to any n party to show proper

The Grand Army Disgrace-A Contempt
ible Course
NeU York n.
The news that a number Of Grand Army
posts when they marched under a pOr,
trait of President Cleveland on Friday
trailed their flags in the dust and made
threats that they would tear the banner
down, ought not 10 cause any particular
surprise. There have been toO many
evidences of late that this organization,
which started with such q noble aim and
purpose, has fallen into the power OF men
who regard it simply as II political ma
chine, to further their selfish ends.
We do not consider it a misfortune that
these Grand Army posts have seen tit To
offer publicly 80 gross an insult to our
Chief Magistrate. We regret, OF course,
that any body OF veterans could be found
who would glory in n course which puts
them in such an unenyiable light, but if
this once hOnOred society is irretrieyably
in the power of pension-grabbers and
demagogues, it ia well that the fact should
be widely known.
The street in front of the window from
which tue portrait vas suspended, it Is
stated, was blOckaded with an excited
throng all day As the posts went march
ing by the officers hurried to and fro, urg-
ing their men TO lower their banners,
NI..,r n,..N.. pNan,haRI NJ the Grand
Army, when they realized what wa tax
ing place, tore their badges from their
coats and left the ranks. The excitement
reached itS height when E%ncampment No.
| of the Union Veteran Legion of Pitts
burg passed under the banner with their
flags high in the air and with many of the
members with their heads uncovered.
1t is very evident that il the Grand
Army is to retain the respect ant the al
lection OF the people that it has had in the
past, there will have to be Il radical reOr-
ganizltiOn in many of its posts. We know
nothing of the political complexion Of the
members of the PittSburg Legion who
made such q striking exhibition of their
independence ut Wheeling, but it is safe 10
assume that they numbered as many Re
publicans in their ranks as Democrats.
1t was not a question Of politics, hut
whether they were willing TO follow blind
ly the contemplate course of the smaller
Fairchilds and Turtles of the Grand
Army. 1t is time for the honest members
of the Society, like those of the Pittsburg
Legion, to bestir themselves if they want
to save it from the wreckerS nov at the

An Association of Republican Politicians

~. LOUIS Republican.
The insulting demonstration made in
front Of the Presidents picture by the G.
A. X procession in Wheeling is entirely in
unison with the spirit Ut ~partisanship and
pension hunting which has taken posses
sion OF that society. The poll of G. A. K.
posts made by the New York TTibaRe
shows that they are virtually unanimous
in demanding the passage of a pension bill
which will take 800, OO0, 900 II year from
the treasury in addition TO the $50, OO0, 600
already paid in pensions. The Grand
Army Record, published in Boston
rs an organ of the society, declared
three weeks ago that it was for the
party which would pay the most persons;
and these insults To the President are
merely a part of the campaign ef lntimida-
ton and bulldozing the society has under
taken in order to force through the pension
grabbing bills it has prepared. When the
Pittsburg procession tr.uled Its Hays before
the Presidents picture, patriotic members
of the society tore oil their badges aud left
the ranks. Their example will he followed

membership, which every skul&er may

State Officials InsnltGu.

The place in the parade OF the Army OF
West Virginia at Wheeling yesterday,
which is usually occupied by the State
officials, was Il acuum. Only Governor
Wilson was honOred with an invitation,
and evidently his presence was not then
expected; and if he had not gone political
capital would thus be manufactured.
There were, doubtless, hundreds Of people
there who were insulted at the non.attend'
ance of the State officials, who did not
know that the insult was the other way.
